St. Louis can claim its fame for being the birthplace and home of many flourishing, long lived performing artists, athletes, and philanthropists/civil rights leaders. Some of the names originating from St Louis include: Nelly, Maya Angelo, Redd Foxx, Josephine Baker, Ozzie Smith, and many, many, others.

As this venture began to grow, it lead to the entire sister group wanting to write their own songs and sing as well. Later, what originated as a 3-member group decreased in size to what you see before you now, a sister duo. The oldest of the group, Brittany, decided to leave the entertainment world to pursue her personal goals
